FINAL SAY

Weddings in 2023 are elevated. Every detail. Every moment. Every look is personalized for your style and the vibe you want to create for your special day.
Now more than ever, the wedding industry has evolved into a Pinterest photoshoot that is certainly frame-worthy. Brides are truly customizing every as- pect of their wedding to create an overall ambiance that will resonate on their wedding day. Whether
it be a multi-day destination wedding or a simple backyard gathering, 2023 weddings are cultured to showcase the couple’s personality. We have every part of a wedding at our fingertips – especially the perfect look to accompany the theme.
We will see old Hollywood glamour and princess
style gowns in 2023 with feathers to accompany.
Uniform bridesmaid dresses have gone by the
wayside, allowing your bridesmaids’ best attributes
to shine with their choice of shape and color as they
stand by your side on your big day. We will see more individuality with bridesmaid dresses. Whether you
do similar tones or cuts of dresses, or allow total
freedom – the days of every lady having the same dress, same hair, and same makeup are long gone.
This years’ hair trends are elegant, slick chignons, modern French twists, and texture and waves with glamorous hair ac- cessories. More lived-in, organic styles will make their debut by highlighting the bride’s natural beauty. Cathedral-length veils, ornate hair pieces, pearl clips, and gloves are sure to elevate any wedding look in 2023, with Grace Kelly-inspired veils dominat- ing the wedding look.
Makeup trends are natural glowing skin, nude-sultry eyes with full lashes, and statement lip whether bold or light in color. The no-makeup look is trending and softly enhances the brides’ best features. Whether the bride chooses very soft makeup or full glam, one thing is for certain: it’s all about the lashes! False lashes
are a must for the 2023 wedding makeup look. In addition, coordinating wedding colors into the overall makeup look can add a cohesiveness to the entire wedding.
Green is the new grey. From emerald to sage, green is the staple wedding color for all seasons of the year. 2023 weddings are all about the earth tones, and organic vibe colors. We will be seeing a ton of greenery, from cakes and aisles to picture walls and overall décor. This wedding color trend adds an organic, inviting feel to any venue or church.
When planning a wedding, I believe it is most important to focus on the couple’s style and express that in every detail. Whether elaborate or simple, 2023 weddings will prove to be elevated like none other. Cheers to the 2023 wedding season, and happy planning!
